2BOX (SAT) FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE DAYSTENANTS OF A MOBILE HOME PARK IN RICHMOND ARE INSIDE THEIR HOMES AND HAVE RUNNING WATER. AS YOU SEE HERE, THE RESIDENTS OF THE MEADOWBROOK TRAILER PARK WERE EVICTED BY THE TOWN YESTERDAY AFTER THE UTILITY DISTRICT SHUT OFF WATER AT THE PARK TO MINIMIZE SEWAGE AND WATER LEAKS. WMTW NEWS 8'S SHERNAY WILLIAMS HAS BEEN COVERING THE STORY ALL WEEK, AND SHE JOINS US LIVE NOW FROM THE PARK. SHERNAY ... STEVE, THE MAIN EMOTION TONIGHT AT THE PARK IS RELIEF THE NINE FAMILIES WHO LIVE HERE PAID TO REPLACE THE SEPTIC PUMP THAT WAS LEAKING SEWAGE INTO A NEARBY STREAM. AND THEY FIXED THREE MAJOR WATER LEAKS ON THE PROPERTY INCLUDING THIS ONE.. WHERE TENANTS SAY 4 THOUSAND GALLONS OF WATER WAS LEAKING EVERY DAY. BEFORE CONTRACTORS FIXED THE WATER AND SEPTIC LEAKS SOME TENANTS GOT A HEAD START---DIGGING TOWARDS THE SOURCE OF THE LEAKS ON THEIR OWN. AND JUST BEFORE SIX THIS MORNING, THE TOWN'S CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER INSPECTED THE REPAIRS AND GAVE RESIDENTS THE GREENLIGHT TO RETURN HOME. JOHN WILSON, HEAD OF THE MEADOWBROOK TENANTS ASSOCIATION, SAYS TENANTS HAVE PAID BETWEEN FOUR AND FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS THROUGHOUT THIS ORDEAL. THAT INCLUDES COSTS FOR REPAIRS AND OVERNIGHT STAYS AT AN AUGUSTA HOTEL LAST NIGHT. WILSON SAYS IT'S AMAZING ALL OF THEIR HARD WORK PAID OFF. John Wilson, head of Meadowbrook Tenants Association 01:04:13 I don't think it's hit us all yet but its coming together. It feels nice to be in our own bed again tonight and to have running water that's actually cleaner than it was before than it has been for months. And it's good to know the tenants aren't going to have to sleep in their cars this weekend in the rainstorm. Really good." 04:28 BUT JUST BECAUSE THESE TENANTS ARE BACK IN THEIR HOMES WILSON SAYS THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEIR FIGHT IS OVER. WILSON SAYS SEVERAL CURRENT AND FORMER TENANTS PLAN TO SUE THE OWNER--RUSSELL EDWARDS-WHO CLAIMED HE COULDN'T AFFORD TO MAKE REPAIRS. LIVE IN RICHMOND, SW, WMTW, NEWS 8.
